Tea Cup Tuesday-


Hello All,
Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday.

 Having tea is a moment of peace...
A moment to settle in...
A moment to reflect...


This past week has been one of 
trying to focus on the good,
On all the amazing people in this world,
and to be so very thankful...
for family, friends, and our beautiful Earth...
which provides our home, our food,
our work and our play....


                                                        Beautiful Earth....................


Precious life!


....Beauty and LOVE. 

I am thankful for every minute!
I am thankful for everyone of you!

Hugs,
And Happy Mother Earth Day!

Hugs,
Terri

    Hello Terri! Your photos and teacups, wonderful as usual.
    Thank you for hosting. I know one of my posts is more about vintage storybooks but I love them in relation to my children's china teacups and plates and, as tomorrow is International Book Day... I hope you find it OK.
    Besos! Silvina

    To sit down in a quiet place with a cup of tea and just think, or pray, is a restorative respite for pretty much all that may ail you.Even better if you're sitting in a lovely garden listening to bird song. God's beautiful and awesome creation, the earth and all it contains, are beyond my comprehension, but I do know I could never grow tired of enjoying what He has created.

    Terri, you are so correct in your posting about the focus on the good. The family, pets, and sharing good and kindness to others. I relate and then I turn to this link party and the kindness you and Martha have to host this each week is a blessing in my life. Thanks for your goodness!

    Dear Terri,
    you shared wise words in a strage world.
    Your tea cup is amazing. I searched for some tea cups with violets in Germany and therefore I am quite familiar with Violets Designs at the moment. Yours is a real treasure and I guess, it is very old. The golden decoration and the violets are painted by hand, right? That is an wonderful tea cup! The pretty lace makes a perfect background for the tenderness of china design. Thank you for sharing all your treasures and skills, for hosting this Tea event and your wonderful giveaways.
    Best greetings, Johanna
